Chapter 244: A Plan Within a Count

Yuan Shao learned that there was discord within the Yellow Turban Army, and those Yellow Turban generals who went to war actually wanted to rebel and surrender to the official army! There was no reason for such a good thing to be extrapolated, and he only thought about it for a while, and then decided to do it alone!

Yuan Shao had just arrived at Julu, and his heels had not yet stood firm, but as soon as he arrived, the Yellow Turban Army was infighting, and the reason was the victory he fought during the day, if he didn't do anything, then it would be fine, but it was because of him that the Yellow Turban Army was infighting, so how could he have a reason to share the credit with others.

Zhao'an Yellow Turban Army, he didn't plan to tell Huang Fu Song, Huang Fu Song surrounded the giant deer for so long, there was no size of the merit, but as soon as he came, there was a Yellow Turban, so he was going to surrender. From this point of view, Huangfu Song is really not a famous general, far inferior to him, just like He Jin told him, as long as he can make some contributions, He Jin will work hard in Luoyang to make Yuan Shao the commander of the army!

Yuan Shao thought to himself: "It turns out that there is really a step to the sky in this world, and I have encountered it!" With such a great opportunity, there is no reason to give it up! ”

He immediately ordered his troops and horses, left the barracks, and hurried in the direction of Julu, and all the tens of thousands of Yulin troops were dispatched, and followed him to recruit the Yellow Turban Army!

With so many soldiers and horses out of the camp in the middle of the night, how could the Han generals not know the reason, and the generals got up one after another, got out of the tents, and looked at the Yulin army. They didn't know what was going on, so they could only guess randomly, but no one guessed that a part of the Yellow Turban Army was going to surrender, and they thought that Yuan Shao was going to make meritorious contributions, so they couldn't wait and were going to attack Julu!

The Han soldiers reported this to Huangfu Song, and the Han soldiers who reported the news naturally did not dare to guess and think nonsense, and the scouts scattered outside the camp had already seen the henchman, but the Yulin Army stepped forward to intercept the henchman, so they did not dare to do much, and did not dare to go over to snatch people from the hands of the Yulin Army, but after the Yulin Army brought the henchman to Yuan Shao, it didn't take much effort, and the Yulin Army went out of the camp, and the whole Han Army scout could see it clearly, so it was natural to report to Huangfu Song truthfully!

Huangfu Song listened, with an angry expression on his face, he had endured enough with Yuan Shao, as a general, his temper was not too gentle, if he wasn't afraid of Yuan Shao's identity, he could be so polite to Yuan Shao? But this Yuan Shao is too ignorant of promotion, and he really treats himself as a person, he dares to disobey orders and send troops without authorization, and does he still take him as a coach in his eyes?

A large group of generals came in outside the tent, all of them were Huangfu Song's subordinates, and these generals were all full of surprise, and they asked what was going on, the Yulin Army actually attacked alone, was it an order from Huangfu Song? How did you let the Yulin Army go out alone, and don't want the army to cooperate?

Huangfu Song's face was extremely ugly, and he briefly told what had happened, and there was nothing to hide.

When the generals heard this, they were all shocked, even more surprised than seeing the Yulin Army go out of the camp alone, without the commander's order, Yuan Shao dared to attack Julu without authorization, was his brain broken, or was there something else hidden.

A general's mind turned relatively quickly, and he said: "General, then Yuan Shao led the troops out of the camp after seeing the Yellow Turban Army, could it be that he sent a detailed work in the Yellow Turban Army and learned something about the Yellow Turban Army, so he was in a hurry to attack?" ”

When the other generals heard this, they all understood a little, and they all said: "Yuan Shao is in such a hurry to attack, and he hasn't reported to the general yet, won't it be because he got some major news, and he knows that he will win, so he refuses to give the credit to the general, right?" ”

There is no need for them to remind him of this, Huangfu Song has already figured it out, and the more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Then let him make meritorious service, let's wait to see what merit he has made and come back!" ”

The generals looked at each other and thought in their hearts: "Do you really care about Yuan Shao?" At this time, we shouldn't wait in the camp, but should follow closely and run to get a piece of the pie, knowing that Yuan Shao can get credit, wouldn't it be too stupid for us not to divide the points? ”

They were trying to persuade Huang Fu Song, but they saw Huang Fu Song wave his hand impatiently and let them all go out. The generals couldn't, so they could only withdraw from the big tent, and after leaving the big tent, they gathered around to discuss the matter, and scolded Yuan Shao for being arrogant, and they were jealous of the credit that Yuan Shao was about to get, and their eyes were very red.

Suddenly, a general said: "Then Yuan Shao is so unrighteous, he attacked without authorization, and the tossing movement is not small, if General Huangfu wants to stop him, or send someone to call him back, there is no time at all, but why doesn't General Huangfu do it?" ”

The generals quieted down together, none of them were stupid, the incident happened suddenly, and Huangfu Song had a vague attitude, just lost his temper, but did not tell them what to do, so it is understandable that everyone was "confused" for a while, and now when someone prompts, everyone immediately understands what is going on!

A general laughed dryly twice and said: "That Yuan Shao still seems to be immature, far inferior to General Huangfu, this time he will undoubtedly suffer a big loss!" ”

Another general snorted and said, "He wants to make meritorious service, if he doesn't call us, then let him go, let's pretend not to know that there is such a thing!" ”

The rest of the generals nodded and sneered a few times, they didn't share Yuan Shao's merits, pretending not to know, in other words, if Yuan Shao was in trouble, they could also pretend not to know, and after thinking about this, the generals were scattered, what should they do!

Yuan Shao roared out of the camp with the Yulin Army, followed the henchman to the direction of the giant deer, the Yulin Army marched, fought another battle during the day, and prevented the Yellow Turban Army from robbing the camp at night, and had not rested, most of the soldiers in the army were already exhausted, and now they followed Yuan Shao out of the camp, they could only grit their teeth, they estimated that Yuan Shao was leading them to make meritorious contributions, they must know what news about the Yellow Turban Army, otherwise they couldn't be so anxious, even Huangfu Song didn't notice, and came out directly, this is for fear of being divided!

Went straight out for more than 20 miles, but still didn't see the Yellow Turban Army out of the city, Yuan Shao was a little anxious, called a team of scouts, and said: "You go to the front to see, how far the traitors are from us!" ”

The scouts received the order and immediately rushed to the front.

Yuan Shao took the brigade and continued to rush behind, but the speed was not as good as when he first came out of the camp, many Yulin troops were already swaying left and right on the horse, how could these old soldiers have suffered this crime, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's ability to lead them to make meritorious contributions, someone would have scolded them at this time!

After a long while, a scout finally returned. This scout told Yuan Shao that there was indeed a Yellow Turban Army in front, with less than 20,000 people, all of them infantry, and they were walking slowly!

After listening to the report, Yuan Shao called the henchman of the Yellow Turban Army and said: "Less than 20,000 infantry, even dare to fight against the general's cavalry of more than 10,000, this general will undoubtedly win, but this general is willing to give your generals a chance to submit to the imperial court, so how do you plan to prove your sincerity?" ”

The henchman didn't understand his words, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the general wants the little ones to do?" What should I prove it? ”

Yuan Shao said: "It's Zhang Bao who leads the troops, right?" ”

The henchman hurriedly said: "It is indeed Zhang Bao, he walks in the back, he is considered an overseer, and the main thing to fight is those of us who are small soldiers." ”

Yuan Shao said: "You go and kill Zhang Bao, as long as you bring Zhang Bao's head to see the general, the general will not only allow you to submit, but also after you are submitted, you will also be incorporated into the official army, and your general will be able to reach the official position and enjoy the glory and wealth from now on." ”

After a pause, he suddenly glared at his eyes and said loudly: "But if you can't mention Zhang Bao's head, it proves that you don't really surrender, but want to lead me into being fooled!" Go back and tell those mud-legged generals that even if they don't submit, the tens of thousands of iron hooves of this general will be enough to trample them into pulp! ”

This was said quite politely, with insults, as a son of a top wealthy family of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao didn't think there was anything wrong with him talking like this, he just told the truth, the Yellow Turban Army is all mud legs, and the generals in it are not mud legs generals, or something else?

The henchman's mouth moved, he was a person from a poor family, he had read a few books, and his brain was more flexible, so he could be sent by those generals as a confidant to contact Yuan Shao, he was insulted by Yuan Shao in public, and thought: "Even if we surrender to the official army, it is estimated that there will be nothing to say, but we have come to this point, what else can we do?" ”

hugged his fist at Yuan Shao, and said to his confidant: "The villain will definitely bring General Yuan's order to my general!" So saying, he beat the horse and left.

This henchman ran wildly all the way, and soon returned to the Yellow Turban Army, and those generals saw that he was back, and surrounded him together, and asked anxiously: "What did the official army say?" Can you promise to recruit us? ”

The henchman said: "Naturally, they agreed, they wish we were obedient." But the little one didn't see Huangfu Song, only saw the general of the Yulin Army, named Yuan Shao, who promised us to surrender, but he looked down on us very much, and he had to let us carry Zhang Bao's head, otherwise he would send a large army over, he brought 10,000 cavalry, all of them were Yulin Army, and said that even if we don't surrender, he can lead the soldiers to trample us all into pulp! ”

The faces of the generals are difficult to look at, they can't be regarded as begging to surrender to the official army now, they haven't reached that point yet, but even if they don't beg, people look down on them so much, if they really beg to surrender...... It is estimated that after a series of defeats, the officers and soldiers will not need them to surrender, and all the rebels will be killed, and the officers and soldiers will definitely be able to do this kind of thing!

The generals discussed, since they want to take Zhang Bao's head as a guarantee of surrender, then take it, anyway, Zhang Bao is behind, as long as he is tricked over, he will be hacked to death! But they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to kill Zhang Bao, if Zhang Bao escaped back, they wouldn't be able to get Zhang Bao's head, and they would not be able to surrender to the official army, and then the Yellow Turban Army would also kill them, and the official army would also kill them, wouldn't it be bad!

The generals decided to lead Zhang Bao into a forest, and if they killed Zhang Bao at that time, even if Zhang Bao resisted, they would not be able to escape quickly on horseback in the woods, and they would have a better chance of success!

As soon as the idea was agreed, the generals immediately used the excuse that the soldiers were too tired to lead the troops into a forest, and Zhang Bao in the back was really anxious, and sent someone to urge, not letting them rest to continue to hurry, but the generals did not listen to the command, Zhang Bao was furious, and he was really fooled and came in person!

At this time, Yuan Shao and the Yulin army were also not far from the woods, and the two armies were only a few miles apart!
